I found this explanation somewhere else on the net
"wrriten and performed for the Seldom Seen Kid himself, Bryan Glancy, a Manchester singer songwriter and best friend to Guy Garvey, Elbow's lead singer.
Bryan passed away in 2007 after a sudden illness. This is Garvey's tribute to him.

Something in the way the lines "Love you mate.." are delivered is simply heartbreaking. It's not that they're twee or sugary or naff. It's because it's sung very matter of factly, and very bluntly. It's clear it's from the heart."
